Person
Anna Fienberg and her mother, Barbara, are both storytellers. They write the Tashi stories together, making up all sorts of adventures and tricky creatures for him to face. 'What would Tashi do?' they ask each other when they set up a difficult situation for him. Even though Tashi is small and not very old, he comes up with some cunning plans in tight situations... which just goes to show that if you use your brain you can overcome Wicked Barons and War Lords.
